Fox News' tactic of mapping out a spin
and attack policy for guests whose stance they disagree with was spotlighted
and deflated recently by 9/11 truth scholar Jim Fetzer - who left Alan Colmes
and Oliver North red-faced after he exposed them and Fox producers for not
having done their homework.

Fetzer called the appearance, "perhaps
the most interesting four and a half minutes of my life."

Fetzer described how in a pre-interview
a Fox producer has insistently asked him if he taught alternative theories
behind 9/11 as a college course. Fetzer was keen to stress that he taught
a course on critical thinking but not a course specific to 9/11.

From this exchange Fetzer began to understand
the spin that Fox were preparing to put on the interview.

Fetzer was then told that Sean Hannity
had been replaced by Colonel Oliver North for the show.

"Because I'm a former Marine Corps
officer I thought this was probably a good thing - that the Colonel and
I would have a very cordial Marine to Marine conversation," said Fetzer.

"When I said this to my wife she
said 'don't kid yourself, they're going to be out to kill you'."

Fetzer was picked up by a Fox limo and
only arrived at the studio after the program had started. He insisted that
a TV be turned on in the make-up room to gage how they were going to pitch
his interview.

"Five minutes before I go on I catch
their drift which is they're going to talk about a professor who is using
his classroom to teach conspiracy theories about 9/11 to our
children."

"What they were doing was saying
I was teaching our children - I was offering a course on 9/11 - and the
way they were defining it in terms of children and kids - this had to be
a freshman level or equivalent course."

Fetzer was able to prepare to bite back
at the attack dogs by exposing the fact that Fox had not done its homework
and were simply preparing to savage Fetzer on an aspect of the topic that
they had completely dreamt up.

"They were attacking me for a non-existent
course, said Fetzer."

"There was no course that satisfied
the description they were trying to nail me for having taught."

Fetzer was able to embarrass Colmes and
North who cut the interview short because their attack strategy had clearly
been ripped out from underneath them.

"The first question out of Colmes
mouth was 'is this a required course?' - and I had to explain to him that
he had his facts Foxed," said Fetzer.

"The fact is they had defined the
parameters - I knew they knew they had made a mistake but I wasn't there
to argue their case."

North and Colmes quickly changed their
tone after they realized the 'evil professor teaching our children horrible
liberal lies' approach had failed.

"When they tried to put me on the
spot after they realized they had committed a mistake - when they tried
to put me on the spot about the society - I began to explain some of the
findings - how the towers had come down by controlled demolition - how the
FBI was asserting that they had no hard evidence tying Osama bin Laden to
9/11," said Fetzer.

After Colmes asked if there was any hard
evidence tying any Bush administration members to 9/11, Fetzer related the
story of Norman Mineta who testified that Cheney's orders were to do nothing
as Flight 77 hurtled towards the Pentagon.

"This was when Ollie started getting
a little nervous and he asks how many there are in your organization - when
he heard there were 300 and 200 with research credentials - 85 actually
having academic affiliations - it took so much wind out of their sails that
they tried to cut it off as quickly as they could," said Fetzer.

Fetzer said it was interesting how the
anchors were more concerned about whether he was teaching the information
to his students than inquiring about the evidence behind 9/11 being an inside
job.

The interview was quickly canned and -
as with the much vaunted Pentagon tape that was heralded to 'shut up 9/11
conspiracy theorists for good' - an expected propaganda coup for Fox turned
into a red-faced debacle and a moral victory for the 9/11 truth movement.
